Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Palestinian jihadis threaten to murder Palestinian-American reformer, Biden administration declines to speak out
Saturday, April 03, 2021
Fadi Elsalameen
Jihad Watch : A democracy-supporting Palestinian-American is under death threat
from Palestinian jihadists. He doesnāt chant the usual victimology,
Israel-hating propaganda about āthe occupationā at every turn, and it is
costing him not to do so.
Although the Biden Administration knows all about the case of
Elsalameen, it appears to be intentionally avoiding Elsalameenās plight
beyond shallow lip service.
Biden has distanced himself from the Trump Administrationās decision
in 2018 to cut over $200 million in U.S. aid to Palestinians over
concerns that American taxpayer money was going to jihad terror. Biden
decided to āresetā US-Palestinian ties, including hundreds of millions in āeconomic and humanitarian assistance.ā Biden must know about the pay-for-slay program and the exorbitant amounts of money paid to jihadis who kill Israelis. But he clearly doesnāt care. Nor does he care about the human rights and safety of Fadi Elsalameen. āPalestinian Terrorists Issue Death Threat on American Reformer as Biden Admin Seeks Closer Ties,ā by Adam Credo, Washington Free Beacon, March 29, 2021:
